Having a great intellect is no path to being happy.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can never live long enough to make them all yourself.

You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop.

Man is not the creature of circumstances, Circumstances are the creatures of men.

Take care of the pieces well. The whole will take care of itself.

If you're happy, don't worry you'll get over it.

Let no man pull you low enough to hate him.

Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

Great dreams of great dreamers are always transcended.

Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.
